Chapter 40: Conspiracy (3)

Gu Qingwan took the initiative to follow Chen Yuan's accompanying military doctor, helping the military doctor to bandage the injured soldiers, and studying medical books in her spare time, slowly she learned to bandage and use medicine, and learned to distinguish medicinal herbs.

At that time, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was incompetent, jealous and jealous, killed Gu Tianyuan and his old subordinates, and greatly lost the hearts of the people. Without Gu Tianyuan's war with the Turks on the border, the Turks fought a great war, invaded and occupied the surrounding Guanshu states, in order to negotiate peace with the Turks, not only ceding land and paying compensation, but also claiming to the Turks. Mama Zhou turned around and walked to the back, carried a small iron cage out, and heard a squeaky sound, it turned out that there was a huge black mouse locked in it, which made people feel disgusting at first sight.

"Break this little brute's mouth open and put her fingers in." Gu Qingwan ordered in a cold voice.

"No, don't, don't ......" Xia Zhu moved back in fright, and Zilan and Ziyu saw the squeaky mouse, thinking of their fingers being put into its mouth, and their scalps were numb.

Mama Zhou stepped forward a few steps, grabbed one of Xia Zhu's fingers, and pulled her towards the cage hard, only to hear a click, Xia Zhu's index finger was forcibly pulled off by Mama Zhou, and she screamed in pain.

Gu Qingwan was unmoved, and continued, "The person who instructed you must have promised you a lot of benefits, but you must know that you are just a maid, don't be too stupid, if you refuse to confess who instructed you, then the crime of poisoning Mrs. will be borne by you, and the person who promised you benefits will never stand up to protect you." ”

"......" Xia Zhu trembled, his eyes flickering.

"Mama Zhou, it seems that she has decided to protect the Lord faithfully, so don't be polite to her, and stuff her fingers into it for the rats to eat!" Gu Qingwan stood up and was about to leave with a shake of her hand.

"I said, I said, big, eldest lady spare me, save me......" Xia Zhu has already understood the terrible thing about this eldest lady, and she didn't dare to hesitate anymore, she trembled and said, "Yes, it was instructed by the second lady, she, she said let me add this honeysuckle to the eldest lady's prescription to suffer, she also promised me to give me a sum of money to let me go home after the deed is completed, I, my brother and sister-in-law in the family are all dead, only the sick old mother is left, I, I am anxious to ask for money to go back to my mother for treatment, so, so I was confused for a while...... ”

"What......" The eldest lady listened and showed an expression of disbelief, "You say, you said it's the second lady, she, she wants to harm me?" ”

"Eldest lady, for the sake of my mother, I beg you to forgive the slave for being confused for a while......" Xia Zhu cried and begged.

"Also, it's not finished yet, don't be in a hurry to sell miserably!" Gu Qingwan's voice was cold and cold.

Xia Zhu was stunned, didn't dare to cry anymore, and said intermittently, "Also, also, this is only the first stage, first add honeysuckle, so that the eldest lady's body becomes weaker and weaker, and then, and then add ...... Poison, so that if the eldest lady dies when she is weak, no one will suspect it. ”

After Xia Zhu finished speaking, she felt a terrifying gaze like Ling Chi, she trembled all over, and begged, "Miss, spare your life, the slave is just confused for a while......"

"In order to achieve his own goal, he knew that he would kill people or do it, but he wanted to fool the past with the words "confused for a while", and now the East Window incident is happening and selling family affairs miserably, this truth is all for you to occupy, what else can you say, Mama Zhou beat her fifty boards and then sent them out." Gu Qingwan said aggressively word by word.

Fifty boards, this is going to kill her, Xia Zhu hurriedly kowtowed desperately and begged for mercy, "Miss, the slave is wrong, please give the slave a chance to atone for her guilt, from now on, the life of the slave and the maid is the eldest lady's." The eldest lady spares her life, and begs the eldest lady to give the slave a chance. ”

Gu Qingwan waved her hand to let go of the mother-in-law who was about to pull Xia Zhu away, and looked at Xia Zhu who was crawling on the ground and was half frightened to death, "I'll give you this opportunity to spare your life for the time being." ”

"Thank you, Miss, thank you, Miss, if there is anything that needs the slave, the eldest lady will only listen to the eldest lady from now on." Xia Zhu hurriedly kowtowed to thank him, and his forehead was already bleeding.

"Okay, don't kowtow, you will continue to stay in Luoxingyuan, pretend to listen to Lu's orders, if Lu asks about the eldest lady's physical condition, you will lie to the Lu family that the eldest lady's health is getting worse and worse, and you will tell me no matter what Lu tells you in the future." As long as you listen to me, I will send someone to find a doctor to treat your mother, do you understand? ”

"The slave understands that the slave must listen to the eldest lady."

"That's the best, if you dare to disobey the yang and the yin, I'll make your life worse than death, understand?"

"The slave and maid obey the order, and the slave and the maid must obey the teachings of the eldest lady."

"Okay, go down and take care of the wound, don't let people see the clues." Gu Qingwan waved her hand, and Xia Zhu hurriedly left.

The eldest lady trembled with anger, her hand tightly grasped the arm of the chair, and said, "I never thought that the Lu family was such a person, I followed the Hou Ye in Huizhou all the year round and handed over the housekeeping power to her, I didn't expect her to treat me like this." ”

"Mother, the Lu family has not only been thinking about the position of the master mother, but she is also thinking about the title of Marquis of Zhenyuan."

"What? You mean to say that she will do something to Zhao'er. ”

"She has already done it, not only has she installed eyeliner in Zhao'er's yard to monitor his every move, but also sent people to instigate him to learn badly, making him more and more cowardly, and she has been giving him drugs to spoil his body recently." Gu Qingwan told the eldest lady everything that Xiao Lu had explained, and after listening to it, the eldest lady only felt cold all over her body, what she didn't expect was that the Lu family would be so vicious.

The eldest lady held Gu Qingwan's hand and said gratefully: "Thank you Wan'er, it's good to have you, otherwise our mother and son would be killed by the Lu family." But now that the housekeeper is in the hands of our big house, why don't you pull out all the Lu's eyeliner, but keep it. ”

Gu Qingwan shook her head and said, "The second room has bad intentions towards the big house, the Lu family has long wanted to get rid of us, she will definitely not give up when she suffered a loss from me last time, and there will definitely be more poisonous waiting for me in the future." I'm afraid she's already planning to get rid of me. Now what I have to do is to act cautiously, know her conspiracy little by little, and then start to lay the net, and when she starts, it will be the time for us to close the net, and then all the Lu family's conspiracy will be exposed, and the Lu family will be completely overthrown, so that my father can see the true face of the second room little by little. ”

The eldest lady looked at her in surprise, this time completely refreshed her understanding of Gu Qingwan. I was in a trance for a while, I still remember when I first saw this little girl, she was still a little doll of four or five years old, innocent and cute, honest and sensible, and then I didn't know why this little doll was very hostile to her, and she cried endlessly when she saw her, Hou Ye felt very sorry for his only daughter, and she felt sorry for Hou Ye, so she automatically proposed to go to Huizhou with Hou Ye, and handed over the housekeeping to Lu's family.

They rarely see each other, and every time they meet, Gu Qingwan ignores her. Later, the little girl's temper became worse and worse, she became rude and willful, unlearned, and her reputation outside was not good. People in Shengjing City said that the eldest lady of the Gu family was rude and willful, and she was a straw bag, and they all praised how talented the second miss of the Gu family was, how elegant and generous. After hearing it, she just felt sorry, what she felt more distressed about was Hou Ye, the eldest lady was rebellious and disobedient, which gave Hou Ye a headache, and the relationship between father and daughter became estranged.

Thinking about it now, Liu only felt that he was useless. Gu Qingwan lost her mother since she was a child, and her father was away all the year round, this little girl had no one to discipline her, and her later rebellion was just because she lacked love. She relied on the aunt in the second room, the cousin and cousin in the second room, but she didn't want these people to just take advantage of her. If she could fulfill the responsibilities of a stepmother, she would only blindly avoid never caring about this child, never giving this child maternal love, so the child grows more and more biased, because no one cares about her and no one teaches her.

"Wan'er, I've suffered you all these years." The eldest lady held Gu Qingwan's hand and said distressedly.

Gu Qingwan shook her head and said with a smile: "Fortunately, I saw through their tricks, I will never let anyone hurt our Changfang in the future, and no one can take away what belongs to Changfang." ”

She is no longer a child, and she will no longer be deceived and used. Now she is going to start taking the initiative and take the initiative into her own hands.

"I really regret that I didn't stay in the first place, so that I wouldn't give the Lu family a chance to hurt you and Zhao'er." Liu regretted not being at the beginning.

Gu Qingwan comforted, "Mother, don't worry, don't worry, your daughter will help you, and Zhao'er is very good, he won't let his mother down." It is imperative that you take care of your health. ”

"Okay, okay." Liu's hands trembled, "We have to find a way, think of a way." ”

Liu's body felt unwell again, Mama Zhou boiled the medicine again and gave her a drink, Gu Qingwan stayed by her side, fed her the medicine, and beat her back.

She waited for Liu to fall asleep before leaving, and Mama Zhou sent her all the way, she explained, "Don't let people know that we have seen through the Lu family's tricks, but let people mistakenly think that my mother's health is getting worse and worse, you know?" ”

"Yes, the slave knows, and the slave will inform the lady." Mama Zhou has already admired Gu Qingwan, the eldest lady, so she will do whatever she says.

"Eldest Miss, it turns out that in this house, Mama Su is the only one who understands medical skills, and it turns out that the eldest lady is deeply hidden, and she can write out the prescription accurately after drinking a sip of medicine," Mama Zhou couldn't help but admire, and admired this eldest lady even more in her words.

Gu Qingwan said shallowly, "I have also read a lot of medical books, but I don't like to show off." ”

In her previous life, after Gu Qingwan escaped from Shengjing City, she met Chen Yuan's retinue Chen Mu, and she followed Chen Mu to Chenzhou to join Chen Yuan. At that time, the Chen father and son had been forced to rebel, and established themselves as kings in their fiefdom Yunnan, openly recruiting rebels to confront the imperial court. Gu Qingwan had been staying in the army with Chen Yuan, which was unprecedented in the Great Zhou at that time. At that time, the whole country was worried about internal and external troubles, and the people's hearts were broken, which was a great opportunity for Chen Yuan to turn around.

Gu Tianyuan often praised Chen Yuan, saying that he was a military genius and a natural general. The troubled times gave Chen Yuan the opportunity to show his talents. Chen Yuan led the rebel army to be invincible, and in less than a year he led his army to capture Shengjing City.

Chen Yuan's father, Chen Chun, succeeded in founding the Great Qi with the help of his son, became emperor, and Chen Yuan was also named King Zheng. But after becoming King Zheng, Chen Yuan's situation was even more dangerous. There are his own father and brother who regard him as a thorn in his side, and he wants to get rid of him as soon as possible, and there are Turks who hate him for regaining the territory occupied by the previous dynasty. Assassination and poisoning became commonplace for Chen Yuan. In order to ensure his safety, Gu Qingwan spent time and energy to learn medical skills, and Chen Yuan's diet and medicine were all in charge of her.

Although her medical skills are not subtle and superb, she can still distinguish medicinal materials and ask questions.
